Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Chipotle Shrimp Tacos.
Step 1
To start your delicious shrimp dish, grab a non-aluminum bowl and mix together the melted Country Crock® Spread, fresh chopped cilantro, zesty lime juice, sweet honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, chipotle chili powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
This flavorful blend will serve as your marinade.
Step 3
Remember to set aside half of this marinade for later; it’ll add an extra layer of flavor to your shrimp.
Step 4
Now, take the shrimp and toss them in the remaining marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl and let the shrimp soak up those tasty flavors for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your grill or broiler to get it nice and hot.
Step 7
Once ready, skewer the marinated shrimp and place them on the grill or under the broiler.
Step 8
Cook for around 5 minutes, turning them once and brushing with the reserved marinade to keep them juicy and flavorful.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re done when they turn a lovely pink and are cooked through.
Step 10
To serve, warm up some tortillas and fill them with your grilled shrimp.
Step 11
For an extra touch, consider adding black beans, a drizzle of Mexican crema, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 12
Don’t forget to garnish with lemon or lime wedges for that refreshing burst of flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy your vibrant and tasty shrimp tacos!.
